Document Summary
Selective breeding a practice whereby animal or plant breeders choose which individual animal or plants will be allowed to mate based on the traits (like fur colour, body size etc), they hope to produce in offspring. Animals or plants that don"t have the desirable traits aren"t allowed to breed. Investigate how physical traits, like colour or height could be expressed in plant hybrids offspring of parents who differ from each other with regard to certain traits or aspects of genetic makeup: heterozygotes. Worked with garden peas concentrating on 7 different traits, each of which could be expressed in two ways. Began crossing tall and short plant called plants he used in the first cross the p(parental) generation. According to the tradition views, all the hybrid offspring, which he called the f1 generation, should have been middle height. Then he mated the f1 generation to make the f2 generation. Only of the f2 generation were tall.
